Chapter 151: Chapter 151 Aunt Shen’s Reminder
"Imperial Green, glass type, full green!"
When the stonecutter master had cut open the rough stone Su Luo had chosen, he was utterly stunned.
He was extremely excited, his breathing became rapid.
This would mark a thick, vivid stroke in his professional history!
"Hiss!"
Everyone gasped in amazement.
All were overwhelmingly shocked, eyes fixed on that piece of glass-type Imperial Green jade.
"How is that possible?"
"It was clearly a piece of scrap; how could it be a glass-type Imperial Green?"
Xia Lianyun also widened her eyes in disbelief.
How could the best of the best come out of a piece of rock universally recognized as waste?
Let alone Xia Lianyun.
At this time, the club manager acting as referee, beyond his excitement, felt his heart bleeding.
"I’m so screwed, how could a piece of glass-type Imperial Green not get noticed and end up in the scrap pile; if I had discovered it earlier..." the manager was almost gnashing his teeth, for him, this time, it was a huge loss.
An Ran’s beautiful eyes widened, after her shock, excitement surged: "Brother Su Luo, you truly are a dark horse."
It could be said that she was the happiest person there.
In contrast, Su Luo was quite calm.
He had already known what was inside that piece of rough, only, he had been mainly looking for the Energy Baryte, and when he couldn’t find it, he had settled for this piece with the Imperial Green jade inside.
"Has the result of this gambling battle come out yet?"
In the midst of everyone’s shock, Su Luo finally spoke up.
At this moment, there was no need for a referee, no need for judges, anyone could tell which stone’s jade was of higher value.
Even Xia Lianyun had no ground for argument.
"You..." Xia Lianyun’s face darkened as he looked at Su Luo, "Very well, we’ll see about that!"
"No problem, we’ll see about that, but before that, hand over the Energy Baryte!" Su Luo was not intimidated by his threat.
Xia Lianyun’s fist cracked audibly.
Murder was clearly in his eyes.
But under the watchful eyes of the public, of course he wouldn’t act out here, otherwise, losing to Su Luo over a stone bet and then killing him in a fit of rage would damage his and his family’s reputation.
But in the upcoming competition at the Southern Martial Association, he would let Su Luo see what he was capable of.
"Give it to him."
Xia Lianyun had someone give the Energy Baryte to Su Luo, and he left the place, seething with anger.
"Young fella, could we perhaps negotiate about this..." the gambling club manager had barely started speaking when Su Luo understood his intention.
"You want to buy this piece of glass-type Imperial Green, right?" Su Luo asked.
The manager smiled and said, "Indeed."
"Name your price." Su Luo wasn’t interested in keeping the stone; money would be more useful.
"Eighty million, how about that?" the gambling club manager offered.
He still felt that Su Luo was just lucky and appeared naive about stone gambling, so he also tried to test Su Luo with the price.
An Ran, upon hearing this price, pulled Su Luo to leave: "Brother Su Luo, this person is trying to rip us off, there’s no sincerity, we won’t sell."
Su Luo looked at An Ran somewhat surprised.
Although he was not familiar with this business, he could see that the gambling club’s manager was being dishonest. He just didn’t expect An Ran to actually get angry on his behalf, and in her words, she tied the two of them together - especially calling him "Brother Su Luo" more and more affectionately. Was this girl always so forward?
But she hadn’t behaved this way towards Ren Yu.
Could it be because he was too handsome, and the little girl had fallen for him?
Su Luo quickly tossed that thought out of his mind; he wasn’t so narcissistic.
But he agreed with An Ran’s idea and decided to pay the price for the raw stone and leave with the Imperial Green jadeite of the glass type.
The manager of the gambling stone club hurriedly called out to them, "Wait a minute, what about one billion?"
An Ran, however, said, "Two billion."
The manager’s face instantly changed, and he shook his head.
This piece of Imperial Green jadeite of the glass type was indeed the best of the best, with excellent color, but it wasn’t worth that much.
Eventually.
After some haggling between An Ran and the manager of the gambling stone club, the deal was set at one billion four hundred million.
"Brother Su Luo, this price isn’t as good as going to an auction, but it saves trouble and is fairly reasonable!" An Ran whispered to Su Luo.
Su Luo naturally trusted her.
After leaving the gambling stone club.
Su Luo noticed that An Ran was still holding onto his arm, and he laughed, "An Ran, Xia Lianyun has long gone; we don’t need to pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend anymore. You’re still holding my arm, aren’t you afraid that I’ll take advantage of you?"
An Ran fluttered her eyelashes, her large eyes exceedingly clear and seemingly innocent and pure, as she looked up at Su Luo, "Brother Su Luo, I don’t have tofu on my body, how could you eat it?"
Su Luo nearly spat out blood.
This girl...
When she played innocent and pure, she was seamless—had he not known An Ran and her quirky ways, he indeed would have been fooled by her.
Finding amusement in the situation, Su Luo said, "I’ll just rub my arm, and there’ll be tofu."
After all, with An Ran holding his arm, it would be very easy to take advantage of her if he wanted.
"No wonder you were rubbing against me just now," An Ran said, feigning sudden realization.
Su Luo instantly froze, quickly withdrew his hand, and maintained a distance, "When did I rub against you? An Ran, don’t talk nonsense; don’t slander my innocence."
...
At the late-night food stall.
Su Luo was eating barbecue with An Ran, which she justified as, "I helped you negotiate from eighty million to one billion four hundred million, so treating me to barbecue as thanks is no problem, right?"
Su Luo accompanied her for the barbecue.
"I helped you negotiate from eighty million to one billion four hundred million, you’ll take me shopping, won’t be a problem, right?" After finishing the barbecue, An Ran added.
"Didn’t you say you didn’t like shopping?" Su Luo was puzzled.
An Ran blinked her beautiful eyes, "Did I say that?"
Su Luo: "..."
Su Luo went shopping with An Ran, but he noticed that An Ran didn’t buy anything; she just browsed even when Su Luo said he would pay for everything, which he found quite strange.
However, An Ran felt sweet happiness inside.
"My Brother Su Luo, I don’t like shopping, but I just want to spend more time with you!" An Ran thought to herself.
Fortunately, Su Luo never showed any impatience from start to finish, but actually seemed to enjoy An Ran’s company.
In the end, the two of them went to an arcade and played some video games, having a great time before returning to the hotel.
"I must say, hanging out with An Ran is quite relaxing and enjoyable." Su Luo felt an unprecedented sense of ease, not just from playing, but also from the feeling that An Ran brought to him.
After returning to the hotel.
Su Luo went back to his room.
He took out his phone and checked the time. At this hour, Nian Nian should still be awake, and Su Luo thought about sending a video to Xia Yi and saying goodnight to Nian Nian.
However, just then, Su Luo’s phone received a text message.
It was from Aunt Shen: "Be careful of Rao Xingwu from the Jiangnan Martial Association!"
